Creamy Tomato Spinach Pasta
This creamy tomato spinach pasta is a comforting and indulgent dish, with rich tomato sauce, fresh spinach, and gooey melted cheese. It’s perfect for a cozy dinner or a special occasion!
Ingredients
:
12 oz rigatoni or penne pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
3 cups fresh spinach
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
:
Cook the Pasta: Cook the rigatoni or penne pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water for later.
Prepare the Sauce: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the crushed tomatoes, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
Make the Creamy Sauce: Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese into the tomato sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy.
Add the Spinach: Add the fresh spinach to the sauce and stir until it wilts down, about 2-3 minutes.
Combine the Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing it in the creamy tomato spinach sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up.
Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the pasta and let it melt, creating a cheesy, gooey finish.
Serve: Plate the creamy tomato spinach pasta and serve hot. Enjoy the cheesy, creamy goodness!
This creamy tomato spinach pasta is the perfect combination of rich flavors and cheesy goodness, making it a delightful meal for any night!
